Featuring UW Faculty and Special Guests: Lucía Pulido – vocals, Cuong Vu – trumpet, Stomu Takeishi – bass, Ted Poor – drums.
After years of working with Lucía Pulido and immersing himself in researching Colombian music, Stomu Takeishi stumbled upon the songs of Violeta Parra. He saw in Parra’s songs the rich depth and spirit that would provide a natural home for Lucía’s virtuosic musicality, brought to life through the unique chemistry and creative language that Stomu, Ted, and Cuong have cultivated over 25 years as a trio. Takeishi’s Violeta Project emerged as a perfect framework to showcase Lucía’s extraordinary artistry in a new and compelling way.
